Jensen has directed the Cowboy golf program during one of the most competitive eras in UW’s 70-year men’s golf history. Under Jensen’s direction the Cowboys have set school records for low individual round and event score, as well as low team round and event score. During the 2011-12 season, Jensen directed the Cowboys to their third-consecutive Golf Coaches Association of America All-Academic team awards for having a team grade point average of 3.0 or better.

For the third consecutive season Jensen helped lead the Cowboys to a Golf Coaches Association of America All-Academic team. Cowboys Phil Henzlik, Parish and Ruff earned Mountain West Scholar-Athlete awards. Wyoming golf also had four student-athletes selected Academic All-MW, including Henzlik, Maier, Ruff and Zach Zaremba. The 2009-10 season was a banner year for the Cowboys as they sent their fi rst golfer to the NCAA Regional Tournament since 2002, as well as being named a Golf Coaches Association of America All-Academic team. Cowboy Gabe Maier earned UW’s fi rst NCAA Regional Tournament berth since 2002 with his 12th place fi nish at the Mountain West Conference Championship. Also during the 2009-10 season the Cowboys were named a GCAA All-Academic Team with a combined GPA of 3.18. Cowboy golfers Henzlik, Maier, Zaremba and Ruff were all named Academic All-MWC. Henzlik and Ruff also earned MWC Scholar-Athlete Awards. In addition to the numerous school records, the Wyoming golf program added two individual tournament championships in 2009. Cowgirl Jonelle Martinez won the 2009 Mountain West Conference Championship and Cowboy Gabe Maier won the 2009 University of Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate. A native of Lander, Wyo. and a former member of the UW golf team, Jensen earned his bachelor’s degree in arts and sciences from the University of Wyoming in 1998 and completed his MBA at UW in December of 2006. In addition to his coaching duties, Jensen manages and is the head golf professional at Glenn “Red” Jacoby Golf Club at the University of Wyoming. Jensen, 39 (born April 10, 1970) was hired as the Cowboy golf coach on Dec. 7, 2001 and named Director of Wyoming Golf on Aug. 18, 2005. Jensen was a member of the Cowboy golf team during the 1992-93 season, but turned professional in 1993, and became an assistant golf pro at the Jacoby Golf Club. During his six years in that position, he was responsible for the daily operation of the course. His duties also included serving as an assistant coach with the golf team. In 1999, Jensen moved to the Pelican Lakes Golf and Country Club in Windsor, Colo., where he was a golf assistant. There he assisted in the daily operation of the golf course and coordinated a number of golf tournaments. He also taught group and junior golf lessons. In addition to his golf club duties, he was a fi nancial representative for Northwestern Mutual Financial Network and later worked for the Bank of Colorado/Raymond James Financial Services in Fort Collins, Colo. He has organized the Wyoming-CSU Border Fore Golf Tournament since 2001, as well as the Old Baldy Cowboy Golf Classic. Proceeds from these events are given to charity and used as fundraisers for UW Athletics. Both tournaments have been established as annual events. In 2003, Jensen initiated the UW/Cleveland Golf Cowboy Classic collegiate tournament. The event is held each spring in Scottsdale, Ariz., and hosts many of the top college golf programs in the country. In 2005 Jensen’s Cowboy squad placed second of 20 teams in the event. In 2007, the Cowgirls hosted the fi rst annual Cowgirl Classic during the same week as the men’s event. The Cowgirls’ event will be held for the fourth consecutive season during the spring of 2010 at the Ocotillo Golf Club in Chandler, Ariz. In addition to the Cowboy and Cowgirl Classics held each spring in the Phoenix area, the Cowboys began hosting a fall tournament in 2008. The second annual Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate was held on Oct. 5-6, 2009 at the Classic Club in Palm Desert, Calif. The Classic Club is the host course of the PGA’s Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

Josey Stender Asst. Director of Wyoming Golf Head Cowgirl Coach

Josey Stender enters her eighth season at the helm for the University of Wyoming women’s golf team in 2012- 13. Stender has served as head coach of the Cowgirls and assistant director of Wyoming golf since August of 2005. The UW program has grown in leaps and bounds on the golf course during Stender’s tenure, while also continuing its tradition of achievements in the academic realm. Much of the success comes from Stender’s coaching philosophy, which exemplifi es her compassion for molding young adults. “I value the idea that members of our Wyoming golf team have a great college experience on and off the course,” she said of her athletes. “I look for well-rounded student-athletes who are willing to work hard to accomplish their goals athletically, while also striving to excel in the classroom for their future.” Stender’s list of achievements while directing the Cowgirls include helping the program rewrite the Wyoming record book and garnering multiple team and individual honors. Under her tutelage, the Cowgirls have posted their top six lowest team event scores and team round scores, including setting the best marks in both categories at the 2008 CU/Heather Farr Memorial. In the fi nal round UW shot a 291 (+3), which gave them a score of 891 (+27) for the tournament. The Wyoming women also picked up their fi rst team win in 10 years with a title at the Bronco Fall Invitational in 2008, while posting their fi rst back-to-back, top-three team fi nishes during the 2011-12 season. Individually, several members of the UW women’s golf team have shined with the help of Stender. Most recently, Juanita Rico set the Cowgirl record for lowest individual season stroke average at 75.5 during 2011-12, as she also became just the second UW woman to earn Mountain West Golfer of the Month accolades. Five of UW’s top six golfers in stroke average competed under Stender, while UW’s top three lowest individual rounds and top six lowest individual event scores have come with her guidance. Stender also coached Jonelle Martinez, who was one of the most accomplished golfers in Wyoming history. Martinez became the second Cowgirl to win an individual Mountain West Championship by claiming the title in 2009 and was named to the First Team All-Conference squad as well.

The Office of Academic Support is dedicated to the task of facilitating the academic and personal excellence of a diverse group of student-athletes. It is our goal to assist in the development of the student-athlete so they may reach their fullest potential. We offer a variety of services to assist the student including free tutorial services for all student- athletes, academic and career counseling. Communication with University faculty is an essential part of this development. It is this communication that helps us assess the academic progress and needs of our students.

Each student is assigned an academic coordinator within our office to assist in their progress toward degree. The academic coordinator is the link between the student, coach, campus and faculty. With this link, the student can connect with services on campus, such as career services, multicultural programs, counseling and disability support services.

We provide the student-athlete with a superior educational support program that allows each student-athlete to obtain the tools necessary for academic success culminating in graduation.

The University of Wyoming men’s and women’s golf teams have established an outstanding tradition of success, both on the golf course and in the classroom. That tradition continues to grow with the current Cowboy and Cowgirl squads, as both the men’s and women’s teams have put their names and marks in the record books. In the spring of 2009, senior Jonelle Martinez became the second Cowgirl to win an individual Mountain West Conference Championship. She joined Jordan Lintz, who won the MWC’s inaugural title in 2000. In the first tournament of the fall of 2009, junior Molly Black set the UW record for lowest tournament score and lowest round. At the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic, her three-round total of 215 (-1) and second round 68 (-4) were both tops in Cowgirl history. In the fall of 2008, the Cowgirls set the UW record for low team round score and low team event score. Both happened at the CU/Heather Farr Memorial in Broomfield, Colo. In the final round the Cowgirls shot a team 291 (+3), which gave them a tournament 891 (+27). In the past three years the Cowgirls have re-written the low team round record ten different times. As for the Cowboys, junior Gabe Maier won the 92-man UW Desert Intercollegiate during the fall of 2009. That marked the first individual tournament win for a Cowboy since 2004. His three-round score of 208 (-8) matched the second best event score in Wyoming history. Fellow junior Zach Zaremba wrote his name in the record books for his fifth best individual round and fifth best event score during the 2008-09 season. He finished the final round of the 2008 Air Force Falcon Invitational with his personal best 67 (-5) and finished in fourth-place with a total 210 (-6). The Wyoming men’s team has captured seven tournament titles during the past 14 seasons, a team runner-up finish at the 2005 Cowboy Classic and produced an All-American in 1992, Dave McCleave. Nine Academic All-American Scholars have come out of the Cowboy program, most recently Dan Silva in 2005 and 2006. The most recent Cowboy to qualify for the NCAA West Regional Tournament was Mike Urbatchka in 2002. Urbatchka was also named to the PING All-Southwest Region team -- one of only 15 players selected in the southwest region. In all, the Cowgirls have had 19 student-athletes earn Academic All-American Scholar honors. In 2007 three graduating seniors, Kaelee Aegerter, Lindsey Bauknecht and Laura Mengelkamp, each earned the honor. Former women’s team member Jessica Mellinger received one of the most prestigious academic honors a college student can achieve when she was selected as a Rhodes Scholar in December of 1999. Out of 930 applicants in the United States that year, Mellinger was one of 32 college students nationally to be selected for a Rhodes Scholarship. She went on to study English at Oxford University in England. Whether it be on the field of competition or in the academic arena, the Wyoming men’s and women’s golf teams have distinguished themselves as being among the best programs in collegiate golf.

Golf is a game where power meets control, and flexibility and balance are the keys to coordinating body movements. The strength and conditioning program for Wyoming's Cowboy and Cowgirl Golf teams addresses these areas while reducing the risk of injury in a highly repetitive sport. Each athlete receives a program that is designed to address the needs of the game. Exercises are chosen based on their ability to improve balance, core strength, power, flexibility, and total body strength. Focus is given to balancing the muscular strength and flexibility in all important areas of the body. Each lifting session is guided by a certified and trained coach to ensure proper execution and intensity. The mission of the University of Wyoming Strength and Conditioning program is to enhance the collegiate John McGee experience of each athlete both physically and mentally. This should be accomplished through scientific training methods, as well as through the promotion of a healthy training environment. The Rochelle Athletic Center Weight Room serves as the main training facility for the majority of the Wyoming varsity athletes. The Fieldhouse weight room is also used by UW teams. This facility is used throughout the year depending upon sport schedules. Strength and conditioning coach Josh Moen works directly with the men's and women's golf teams at UW. The Mountain West Conference From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the MW continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. Now in its 14th year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West has marked several achievements over its first 13 years of existence, most notably becoming the first to establish a sports television network Omni Tucson National Golf Club dedicated solely to an intercollegiate athletic conference (The Mtn.). The Mountain Tucson, Ariz. West also was the first to experiment with the coaches’ challenge in the college football instant replay system, and was the first non-automatic-qualifying BCS conference to participate in four BCS bowl games, winning three. Additionally, the Mountain West was the first conference to have a member institution with No. 1 overall picks in both the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year (Utah’s Alex Smith and Andrew Bogut, respectively in 2005). With San Diego State’s Stephen Strasburg claiming the No. 1 pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, the Mountain West is one of two conferences to have the No. 1 selection in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the MW was founded in 1999. In 2011-12, the Mountain West was among the first conferences to implement a league-wide state-of-the Mission Hills Country Club in art basketball instant replay system. Palm Desert, Calif. The Mountain West is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MW institutions (Air Force, Boise State, Colorado State and New Mexico). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert cities of Las Vegas and Reno, home to UNLV and Nevada, while Fresno State and San Diego State add a West coast influence with their locations in Central and Southern California. The inclusion of the Hawai‘i football program extends the Mountain West footprint to the beautiful islands in the Pacific Ocean. In golf, all nine MW institutions field a men's program. On the women's side, eight of the nine schools sponsor women's golf programs. The eight women's golf programs are: Wyoming, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Nevada, New Mexico, San Diego State and UNLV. The 2013 MW Women's Golf Championship will be held at Mission Hills Country Club in Palm Desert, Calif., from April 25-27. This course is also home to the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship. TCU won the 2012 women's conference champion. The men's golf championship will be held May 3-5 on the Omni Tucson National in Tucson, Ariz. This will mark the seventh consecutive year the MWC Championship will be held at the Tucson National. San Diego State won the 2012 team title. 23 WYOMING GOLF WYOMING TRADITIONS

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE The familiar fi ght song of the University of Wyoming athletics teams is Ragtime Cowboy Joe. This song is performed by the band as UW teams enter the playing surface, following a score or big play, and to fi re up the fans. The Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athletes traditionally sing this following each Wyoming victory.

RAGTIME COWBOY JOE “He always sings raggy music to the cattle as he swings back and forward in the saddle, on a horse - a pretty good horse! He’s got a syncopated gaiter, and you ought to hear the meter to the roar of his repeater; how they run - yes run! - when they hear that he’s ‘a-comin’, cause the western folks all know, he’s a high-falootin’, rootin, tootin’, son of a gun from ol’ Wyoming, Ragtime Cowboy, Talk about your Cowboy, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.”

THE STAMPEDE The Stampede is the offi cial athletics fan club for University of Wyoming students. The Stampede is one BIG fan club for all 17 NCAA Division I sports at the University of Wyoming. The Stampede leads Wyoming fans in spirit, tradition and passion for Wyoming Athletics. Members of the Stampede receive multiple benefi ts, and as a student at UW, The Stampede is the best way to become involved in Wyoming Athletics.

COWBOY NICKNAME The nickname “Cowboys” was applied to Wyoming athletic teams as early as 1891 - two years before the fi rst offi cial football game. The story is that the Wyoming pick-up football team appealed to a 220 pound cowpuncher, Fred Bush, for help in a game against the Cheyenne Soldiers. Bush signed up for a course or two and came out for the team. When he trotted onto the fi eld decked out in a checkered shirt and Cowboy hat, someone yelled, “Hey, look at the Cowboy!” Since many of the members of the team were also ex- cowboys, the name stuck. When women’s sports were added at UW, the nickname of Cowgirls was applied to those squads.

COWBOY JOE PONY Cowboy Joe IV, a fourth generation Wyoming mascot, trots around War Memorial Stadium after each Cowboy touchdown, a tradition which started in 1950 when the Farthing Family of Cheyenne made a generous donation of a young pony to become Wyoming’s mascot. Cowboy Joe also represents UW in parades around the region, appears in Tailgate Park on football game days and leads the band and team in the pre-game Cowboy Walk. This beautiful little pony is very popular with Cowboy & Cowgirl fans of all ages. 24 WYOMING GOLF WYOMING TRADITIONS

SPIRIT SQUADS The primary purpose of Wyoming’s Spirit Squads is to support the Cowboys and Cowgirls, and to serve as public relations ambassadors for the University of Wyoming. The UW cheer and pom squads work hard to get the crowd involved, lead cheers, entertain, and to boost the level of fan excitement and support to new extremes. In addition to their game-day involvement at UW Athletics’ contests, Wyoming Spirit Squad members also make numerous appearances at university activities, functions, programs, charitable and public events. Cowboy and Cowgirl sports are fl ying high and the Wyoming Spirit Squads are leading the way.

PISTOL PETE Pistol Pete is a UW student mascot who works alongside the Wyoming Spirit Squads, encouraging the crowd and getting fans involved in the game.

WESTERN THUNDER MARCHING BAND The University of Wyoming Marching Band - “Western Thunder” - features musicians from nearly every major on campus, who perform for thousands of football fans each year at home and road Cowboy football games. The Wyoming Pep Band plays at numerous other UW sporting events.

UW’S LOGO - STEAMBOAT One of the nation’s best, and most distinctive logos, the image on Wyoming’s uniforms depicts a cowboy riding a bucking horse. This symbol has been a part of the University of Wyoming Athletics Department since the early 1920’s, when UW Equipment Manger Deane Hunton obtained a photograph of a cowboy, Guy Holt, riding the world famous bucking horse Steamboat. Hunton had the photo made into a logo, which was then utilized by UW athletic teams. While there are differing opinions on exactly which horse and rider is depicted on all of UW’s athletic uniforms today, it is the symbol that is important. The bucking horse and rider represents the toughness, BROWN AND GOLD COLORS and the never-say-die spirit that is Wyoming. A statue honoring the symbol called ‘Fanning a Twister’, was erected at the north entrance The story behind the colors of the University of Wyoming dates back to 1895. In the spring of UW’s athletics facilities in 1991. of that year, the fi rst ever UW Alumni Banquet was held. Decorations for the banquet included Brown-Eyed Susans, a fl ower native of Southeastern Wyoming. The Alumni were so impressed with the colors (brown and yellow) and the beauty of the fl owers that they decided to select these colors as the offi cial school colors at UW. Currently, the colors are described as brown and gold. 25 WYOMING GOLF ATHLETICS FACILITIES
